Adoption Process

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Bichon Rescue Brigade (BRB). Although humans think that we adopt dogs, more often than not our dogs choose their forever families. They just seem to know when it’s right! That’s why Bichon Rescue Brigade helps its pups to make the right decision by presenting them with qualified potential forever families who have completed our adoption process. Here’s how you can join that list.

Step 1 -- Complete and submit BRB’s adoption application, which provides us with valuable information we can use to find the perfect Bichon for you.

Step 2 -- Once the application is approved, a BRB volunteer will visit your home to conduct a brief “home safety check” to ensure we are placing our pups into a safe and secure home.

Step 3 – Once you’ve successfully completed Steps 1 & 2, it’s time for our pups to meet you! Our placement team will arrange for you to meet one or more pups that might be a match for you. When that happens, you just need to complete the adoption contract and pay the applicable adoption fees – $350 for most dogs, slightly more for puppies under 1 year, and less for senior dogs.

NOTE: All BRB dogs are spayed/neutered and current on their vaccinations, so these costs are included in the adoption fee. All adoption fees go directly into rescuing more pups, and are fully tax-deductible.

Kevin Will Melt Your Heart

Kevin is our walking miracle! Everyone that meets him falls in love with him!! He is adorable, very sweet and LOVES attention. Kevin's has his own sit and his own walk (think John Wayne!), because his stifles joints do not flex. Our vet believes it is due to a congenital musculoskeletal deformity. Kevin get’s around just fine and goes potty without any issues. This amazing little guy is looking for a very special family, who will love, spoil and adore him. His ideal family will be quieter, less active family where he can love and be loved. Might this wonderful boy be for you?
